As these debates usually go, there was obviously no conclusion, but one thing was clear; every relationship has a dealbreaker. Dr Caroline Muirhead, the subject of Netflix’s new documentary series, Should I Marry a Murderer?, found that dealbreaker days after getting engaged to Sandy McKellar when he confessed that three years ago, he and his brother Robert had killed a man named Tony Parsons, buried his body, and never told a soul about it. But now, he was confessing his dark secret to Caroline because he wanted help in disposing of Tony’s remains. All of this was just a …
